When I moved to my new neighborhood in second grade I lost a lot. Mostly, I lost my willingness to go outside, because I was one of the oldest kids in the neighborhood & everyone else was starting their families so kids were like 1 or 2. I was super skinny then from playing all the time, but when I stayed inside I gained a lot of weight.
Not all of the weight was because I shot up to 5′11″. I gained about 100 pounds since then. I’ve been overweight as long as my friends in my new school system can remember.
Now that I’m in high school, I want to seriously change. I don’t think like a fat person; I look at girl’s clothes & think they’re cute, then remember I’m fat & can’t wear them. I bum myself out all the time.
I’m eating two meals a day. I make sure I eat the required fruits & vegetables, & only drink milk & apple juice (I HATE pop)
However, since I started this diet I’ve been having diarrhea. On & off for a couple months. It hasn’t been explosive, but going to the bathroom has been harder. I don’t think it should be lack of fluids, because I substitute my hunger with liquids a lot.
Why would I finally be having problems when I’m eating healthier?

I just want to know how many pregnant women are out there right now.
1)How far along are you?
2)And how are you feeling?
3)How much weight have you gained since you’ve been pregnant?

Hey folks, ok heres the dealio- I am a 25yr old female, about 5 10/11 ” & about 8 & abit stone. I have always been tall & skinny, it is inherited from my grandad. But I have grown up knowing I am different & it is something that continually gets me down, I hate my body & find it hard to find clothes that I truely feel confident in. I spoke to my doc & he said what everyone always say ” Most women would love to have your figure you should be happy in your shape blah blah blah” . But I would just so love to gain abit of weight, maybe a stone, & just fill out abit, so I can actually like my figure, & be able to wear clothes that at the moment just wouldnt suit me.
If anyone out there has gained weight by eating/drinking something every night/day for however long please let me know. I have quite a small appetite so find it hard to just eat more. But I will try anything if I know it will give me results,
cheers everyone x anna

Im about 157 & I’m 5′11, I have some body fat but I would really rather it not being there. I also heard that there’s an performance enhancer called Animal Cuts, for bodybuilders & high performing athletes which increases testosterone allowing muscle growth which burns fat off really fast, & that’s what its meant for. My goal is to get cut up & have defined muscular definition by june or late may.

Muscle growth, Cyclone,Creatine,
Thanks

I have a great diet where i only drink water all day & eat the healthy stuff & i am toned because i exercise alot, still i just wanted to get a bigger. People tell me i have a nice body but i’m still slim. Thing is i don’t wanna just start eating anything & everything because it can greatly ruin my already healthy diet.
ANY SUGGESTIONS?

I want a six pack & to build bigger arms & become ‘good-looking’.
Right now, I have the general six-pack muscles developed. I think I can manage six-pack easy, after I build a little more muscle then I just cut down food consumption (I eat a ton, it won’t hurt at all).
I need to know how to build muscles the fastest & effective ways to help with six-pack.
Does the length of workout play a part in how affected the areas I work out are built?
Since Legs are 60% of the human musculature, squats & the like are good at releasing the muscle growth hormone, but does it matter when I do squats in the workout?
(If I’m wrong, please tell me that also.)
Thanks, your own opinion please, I hate when people give annoying websites. I’ve looked it up already, I want opinions. Thanks again.

Some of you are going to be immature enough to make fun of me, but this is a very serious matter. I am wondering if anyone has had or know of anyone with this problem:
I have been gaining weight like crazy. When I first realized this, it was about a year ago…and I had gained about 5 lbs in a couple of weeks. That was shocking to me, but not too tramatic. I decided to excercise a little more, adding 15 more mins to my walking per day, & 15 mins to my cardio 3 times a week. Nothing…as a matter of fact, I gained more weight. My diet never changed for the worse. I did not eat anymore nor did I eat anything unhealthy. BUT, I decided to cut the carbs almost completely & increased cardio by 5 more mins 3 times per week, leaving my walking the same. Still I gained. I thought I was pregnant…(missed my cycle), & wasn’t. I have continued to gain. I have gained a LOT in the last yr, & 35 lbs since Sept in spite of a healthy diet & regular excercise. WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME? HELP!!

I’m sure this isnt enogh exercise to be as strong & fit as I want to be but here is my schedule so far, & I just started it.
I ride my bicyicle every day to work a total of 40 minutes vigerous bike riding. I do 50 situps at night & try & do curls with each arm with 30lbs on each arm. I do 20-40 each rep & usually only do 1 or 2 reps a night right now, then I plan to increase. Diet wise I dont eat fast food, drink little soda, & eat lots of meat & vegies. I take a cup of whey every day from GNC & take vitamin C,B6,Biotin,Calcium, & Ginsing. I also take two 1mg pills of Xanax a day, dont know if that effects muscle growth/fat loss much.
Now for body specs,26years old 6/8 255lbs with a large body frame. Decently in shape with my muscles but they are not as big as I want, also I got about 30 lbs I would like to turn into muscle.
Is this a good start & what are some things I can do to make myself more stronger?

I have been taking 50 mg of Zoloft for 2 years. When I started I was a pretty healthy weight with diet & exercise. Now, I have gained 20 lbs. & CANNOT LOSE THE WEIGHT! I have been exercising like crazy & sticking to my diet…I haven’t shed a pound…I’m actually still gaining. I don’t recognize my body & am more depressed now than when I started the Zoloft for my depression! Any ideas or has this happened to anyone else?

Will this exercise help my bicep growth?
Ok, theres this exercise i’ve heard of & it is when you get a weight in your hand(s) & start punchig (not in fast motion obviously, but slower), apparently this can help build muscle, will it??
Is this true?
WILL IT BE AS EFFECTIVE OR SAME AS NORMAL WEIGHT LIFTING?

I have been struggling with anorexia & I need to gain weight. I burn about 500 calories on the treadmill daily, because my nutritionist is still allowing me to exercise for my own sanity. Here is what I eat on a daily basis:
Before workout:
6 slices lean chicken (50 cals), cheese spread (35 cals), protein bar (200 cals)
After workout/breakfast:
Nature Valley Yogurt granola bar (140 cals)
Lunch:
Wrap (lettuce, lowfat tortilla, 6 slices lean chicken, mustard, lite mayo) (140 cals)
1 string cheese (60 cals)
1 apple ( 100 cals)
Dinner:
1 Healthy Choice cafe steamers (270 cals)
Snack after dinner:
1 apple (100 cals)
6 slices turkey (50 cals)
Is this healthy? I don’t want to gain weight from fat, just from muscle.

breakfast: healthy heart blueberry oatmeal.
snack: small bag of cheerios & reduced fat triscuits & cheese.
lunch: sandwich with oven roasted turkey breast, cheese, lettuce & a sliced tomatoe, & a small handful of almonds, & yoplait yogurt.
snack: special K bar or special K snack bites, with some grapes & strawberries.
dinner: healthy choice chicken & dumpling soup made only with white meat.
drinking 8 glasses of water a day.
does this sound okay? also for exercising if i go on a 45 minute fast walk every day do 50 lunges on each leg & 50 sit ups & crunches every day (25 of each in the morning & at night) & 50 jumping jacks.
how much weight could i lose in a month by doing all this every day?
i am also taking dietary supplement vitamins every day.
and please dont tell me that i dont need to lose weight or i need to gain weight because i dont feel that way.

Im 5′8 & 110 pounds. Right now I dont have a great diet & all i find are losing weight website’s. I want to put weight on & eat healthy too. Where can i find something on this?

I ate:
-An entire pineapple cut into slices
-An entire Cantaloupe cut into squares
-An apple
-A few pieces of watermelon
-About 50 grapes.
-A glass of fat-free milk (10 oz)
I was thinking of going Vegg tomorrow because I feel sick to my stomach from all the sugar… or maybe it’s just the vitamin supplements I have to take.
Anyone have any tips?

I came off of my diet, kind of hard, eating too much, & some fast food & gained about 2-3 pounds… but at the same time, I started doing at least 60-70 pushups a night, a bunch of situps, & some bicep curls… how much of this weight could be muscle gain? I hate to think it’s fat.

I believe bread & wine (carbs + alchol) must make you put weight on, how can this source be right in thinking it cant?

Okay im 6″, 180cm & weigh 135 pounds or 60kg. I have trouble gaining weight. I exercise ALOT. Everyday i play soccer. I usually work on endurance like jogging & running. I do 40 pushups everyday. I never weightlift. I am very picky on what i eat but i do eat alot of junk food. I NEVER watch what i eat & i dont understand why i cant gain weight! So my friend recommended that i go to my local drug shop & buy these powders things you mix with water. He said that it will help me gain weight. Is this a healthy approach???
